ELEPHANT IN THE BRAIN : hidden motives in everyday life
This book exposes our unconscious selfish motives, those we're reluctant to discuss or even think about. These motives drive our body language, laughter, and conversation, as well as venerated institutions like art, school, charity, medicine, politics, and religion. You'll never see yourself, or the world, the same again.
